[QUOTE="HunterMann, post: 2725178, member: 117098"] Me and my three friends took 4 nice Texas Aoudad in 2 days last October with 308, 7mm RM, 338 WM, and 300 Weatherby. Shots were 250 to 500 yards. The 308 took 2 shots but that was the 500 yard shot. All were factory loads and I don't have the others exact bullets or weights. Comparing their anatomy to African antelopes is valid. You should aim more forward that on a deer. Our guides advice was to shoot them in the shoulders and they won't go any where. Use a stout bullet. I found the steep up or down hill shooting angles to be a challenge, so be prepared. The hill country is rugged and rocky, hard on feet and knees. Bring good boots. Watch out for the cholla cactus, it is a particularly nasty one. Learn from your guides on how to pick out the best Aoudad in the area. You will probably see many of them; so don't shoot the wrong one. I want to go back and hunt them with a .25 or 6.5 or .284 something cartridge. They are tougher than deer, but a good bullet with proper placement will put them right down. In Texas you can hunt them year around which can fit into anyone's schedule. [/QUOTE]
